The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

On August 21, Spain and France launched a bronze medal battle for the third and fourth places. Spain relied on a deeper lineup and better performance to defeat France and win an Olympic bronze medal.

And one day later, on August 22, the final of the Olympic men's basketball event also officially arrived.

Huaxia men's basketball team VS USA men's basketball team, this is undoubtedly a much-anticipated match, whether the US men's basketball team will continue to defend its position as the world's hegemony, or the Huaxia men's basketball team will break the dominance of the dream team and usher in a new era. Everyone is curious.

In the locker room of the Huaxia men's basketball team, Wang Xiao was doing the final mobilization.

"Guys, this is the last battle." Looking around at his team members, Wang Xiao had a relaxed expression on his face. "I have said what I should say in the past few months. Everyone's hard work in the past few months will bear fruit in this game."

As early as when the national team started training, Wang Xiao made the training plan, tactical arrangement and video analysis, all of which were only for the US team. Even if it was a top team like Spain, Wang Xiao would not Not a single ounce of energy wasted.

It is precisely because of such meticulous devotion that the Huaxia men's basketball team can beat the US team in the group stage.

"However, I still want to say that I hope you can put down the pressure in your heart as much as possible. We have done well enough along the way, as long as we do our best and play our due level. As for the outcome Leave it to God."

Although Wang Xiao himself attaches great importance to the outcome of this game because it is related to the completion of the system upgrade task, but he does not want such emphasis to bring too much pressure to the players.

After all, this is the arena of the Olympic Games. A mistake in the game may cause a player to bear a lifetime of infamy, and even be dubbed the "sinner who caused the Chinese men's basketball team to miss the championship".

Now the Huaxia men's basketball team are all young players, whose life experience and experience are not as good as those of veterans like Yi Jianlian. Excessive pressure may damage their self-confidence and affect their future careers. Wang Xiao does not want to see this the occurrence of the situation.

Therefore, his speech to the players in the team has always revealed a very relaxed and indifferent attitude, and it is also through this method that the players also relax.

Of course, players like Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian, who have seen big storms, will not be affected in any way. One of these two is the head star and team leader of the top NBA team, leading the team to fight in the playoffs many times. Already had a big heart.

The other is the leader of the Huaxia men's basketball team after Dayao retired, and he also won the NBA championship with Wang Xiao.

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, captain Yi Jianlian took the initiative to take a step and put his hands in the middle.

The other players spontaneously stepped forward and put their hands up.

"Brothers, it's just the last step! Think about it! The champion! The Olympic gold medal is right in front of us! It's just one step away from us! Years later, when you are old, you will definitely think back to this moment today, this moment It will be the most glorious moment that we will never forget in our lifetime!"

"come on!"

"come on!!!!"

The hands of all the players gathered together pressed down hard, and their voices were neat and firm.

...

The game officially begins, and players from both sides appear on the field.

The starting lineups of the two teams are the same as in the group stage, and the US team has not made any adjustments. The starting center is still DeMarcus Cousins, not the defensive giant Dunn.

Apparently, the old coach K also felt that instead of letting Dunn defend in vain against Hao Peng, who couldn't defend himself, it would be better to let Cousins ​​play and use his offensive deterrence to make Hao Peng have some scruples when defending.

When Cousins ​​was on the court, Hao Peng did not dare to leave his position casually to help defend others like he did when he was facing Dunn.

However, Old K still didn't expect, or no one thought, that there would be a huge change in the first quarter of the game.

...

Ball games are magical, because no matter how strong a person is, he can’t guarantee that he will win, and even a weak team has the miracle of defeating the strong with the weak, which is also the charm of basketball.

Cheng Jie, user of Reggie Miller Growth Template Card.

Before the final of the Olympic Games, Cheng Jie averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game for the team, which was the third scoring point in the Huaxia men's basketball team after Hao Peng and Jeremy Lin.

He's playing at a high level, and he's good enough to be an NBA All-Star...but that's about it.

Whether it's Cheng Jie, or the template he uses, Carreggie Miller himself, in front of the American Dream Team, it seems a bit insufficient.

Five times as an All-Star substitute and three times selected to the best third team, Miller's entire career resume only ends here.

Not to mention comparing with James and Durant, even Paul George's personal honor so far has surpassed Miller.

However, in many cases, the strength of a player cannot be measured by simple honors and statistics. For example, Miller is most famous for his confrontation with Jordan in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals. "The enemy of life".

In fact, Miller has only met Jordan once in the playoffs in his entire career, and in that series, Jordan averaged 31 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, which completely exploded Miller's 17.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Why is Miller still considered Jordan's biggest opponent among guards when the data gap is so large? Just because in that era, when Jordan had been named the god of basketball, Miller was the only guard who could put Jordan in a difficult situation, and even almost lost the game in the playoffs! This alone is enough to establish his position among shooting guards!

Wang Xiao didn't know whether Reggie Miller had the strength to drag the god of basketball down from the altar, but he was sure that Cheng Jie at this moment was like a god on the court!

"Cheng Jie received a pass from Jeremy Lin from outside the three-point line! Facing Thompson's defense, he jumped up and pulled it out! The ball went in!!! It's crazy! This is his fourth three-pointer in the first quarter Ball! He has already scored 18 points!"

In the exclamation of the live commentary, the old K beside the bench of the US team was going crazy!

"Who can stop that guy for me! Don't let him make that goddamn shot!"

Since the team failed and lost to the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team, Old K felt that he had made enough adjustments and preparations. In order to limit Jeremy Lin, he did not hesitate to let all the team's point guards sit on the bench and let James become the team's main force. The point guard, in order to stop Hao Peng, he also formulated a series of tactics for the inside.

But he never expected that when it came to the final against the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team again, it would not be Hao Peng or Jeremy Lin, but Cheng Jie who would emerge from the Huaxia Men's Basketball Team!
